"If you dig a treasure map and die, it's fate. Even if there's real danger, you can't blame yourself."
Lin Zi comforted him, saying, "Of course, Captain Lei Gang himself is not weak; he can handle ordinary dangers. Moreover, when he digs treasure maps, he always brings people with him, so even if it's not an ordinary danger, he can easily handle it."
Lin Zi, like a big sister, patted Su Yu's shoulder and said with a smile, "You're my person now. You don't have to worry about this, and you don't have to be afraid that Captain Lei Gang will come looking for trouble if you don't dig up anything good."
"That's good then." Su Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief. If Captain Lei, the bald man, didn't get into trouble this time, he planned to sell all future treasure maps to him.
After leaving the Night Watcher Department, Su Yu, with great generosity, hailed a ride-sharing car and headed to City First People's Hospital.
Outside the hospital, Su Yu bought some fruit. After thinking for a moment, he also picked up two cases of milk before entering the hospital and heading straight for Ward 666.
"Huh, Fatty, what happened to you?" As soon as he entered the ward, Su Yu saw that Fatty's crotch was wrapped in a lot of gauze, which made him curious.
Could it be that Fatty came to the hospital for that kind of surgery?
"Sigh..." After Su Yu put down the fruit and milk, Fatty finally sighed and said, "After we parted yesterday, I still couldn't resist. I went home, got a treasure map, and went to dig..."
When he reached this point, Fatty seemed conflicted, as if debating whether to continue.
"Then you encountered danger?" Su Yu glanced at the bandaged area and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Fatty's face was flushed crimson, but he shook his head and said, "I didn't encounter any danger; instead, I dug up a Cultivation Technique."
"Oh?" Su Yu was surprised and, while envious, was also happy for Fatty. He said, "You're quite lucky! With a Cultivation Technique, you can rise steadily from now on and no longer be an ordinary person."
After a pause, Su Yu asked, puzzled, "That's not right though. If you dug up a Cultivation Technique, how did you end up in the hospital?"
"You... you didn't read the news?" Fatty asked with a bitter face.
"News, I read it every day. What does this have to do with the news?" Su Yu asked.
"I... I'm the one who dug up the 'Sunflower Manual'!" Fatty turned his head away, seemingly afraid to look at Su Yu.
"Sunflower Manual?" Su Yu was startled, he had some impression of it, but he quickly pulled out his phone and searched for the four characters "Sunflower Manual."
Soon, news headlines popped up.
"Citizen Chen, using a treasure map, unearthed a scroll of the 'Sunflower Manual.' Currently, Chen has been urgently sent to the hospital..."
Su Yu looked astonished, then turned to Fatty and asked weakly, "Fatty, is your surname Chen?"
"Mm." Fatty's voice was like a mosquito's buzz; he didn't dare to speak loudly at all.
"Remarkable courage!!!" Su Yu couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.
"I was too excited at the time and didn't think much of it. When I saw 'To practice this Cultivation Technique, one must first castrate oneself' written on the 'Sunflower Manual,' I just cut it off directly."
Fatty's face was extremely embarrassed, but he seemed to really want to confide in someone. He turned his head away and said in a low voice, "It was only after I cut it off that I saw the second page, which had another line: 'If one does not castrate oneself, one can still succeed.' Then, I called for an ambulance."
Su Yu wanted to laugh, but he held it in and asked, "Was it reattached?"
"It was reattached." Fatty said weakly, "The doctor said that if I rest well, I can still use it in the future."
"That's good then." Su Yu nodded, patted Fatty's shoulder, and said, "Then you should recover well. When you're better, I'll come back to buy treasure maps from you."
"It's fine." Fatty turned his head, his face burning and red. He pulled out two treasure maps from under him and said, "I thought you might be in a hurry, so after we finished talking just now, I asked my family to send over two treasure maps."
"Fatty, you're really too kind." Su Yu didn't take the treasure maps immediately. Instead, he first transferred four hundred thousand to Fatty. Only after Fatty's phone received the deposit notification did he take the two treasure maps.
With one transaction, Su Yu earned a tearful one hundred thousand. He felt that Fatty was truly too kind and secretly vowed that he would never forget Fatty once he became successful in the future.
"Um... what I told you, you absolutely must not tell anyone!" Fatty hesitated for a moment, then urged.
"Don't worry, I didn't hear anything today." Su Yu patted his chest and promised.
Then, Su Yu added, "Fatty, if you're not going to use those treasure maps you have, save them all for me. I'll take all of them!"
"But, I need some time. Can you make an exception for me?"
Fatty looked at Su Yu with some surprise, then nodded and said, "Considering that you saved me, I'll give you a month. After a month, I might sell them to someone else."
"Okay, a month is enough!" Su Yu said with a smile, "Fatty, I'll be going now. I'll come see you tomorrow."
After Su Yu left, Fatty's expression gradually returned to normal. Then, he took out a yellowed ancient book from under his pillow and began to read it carefully.
On the cover of the ancient book, the four large characters "Sunflower Manual" were written.
A moment later, Fatty suddenly burst out laughing, "So that's it, haha, I understand!"
Immediately, the air vibrated, as if some mysterious power surged from all directions and entered Fatty's body.
The Sunflower Manual vibrated, transforming into a beam of light that drilled into Fatty's glabella.
Fatty fell into a coma, but the Qi on his body grew stronger and stronger.
...
After leaving the hospital, Su Yu didn't take a taxi but walked home.
Although he had a new house now, there were still some things at his old home that he needed to retrieve.
Soon, he arrived outside the residential area, which had already turned into ruins. Su Yu saw people queuing up, seemingly registering for something.
Su Yu quickly ran over, then saw an owner from the residential area and immediately asked with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, what's going on here?"
"Oh, Little Yu," Uncle Zhang, seeing Su Yu, took a puff of his cigarette before saying, "Our residential area was destroyed by that beast, wasn't it? The Night Watcher Department stepped in and is offering free replacement houses to the residential area owners, plus 200,000 in compensation. If anyone died in the family, they're getting 1 million per person. They're just registering now, and once the registration is done, the compensation will be given!"
Only then did Su Yu understand. So, he could get another house?
Thinking of this, Su Yu quickly joined Uncle Zhang in the queue.
Soon, it was Su Yu's turn.
A Night Watcher, holding a laptop, typed while asking, "Name? ID number?"
"Su Yu, ID number is..." Su Yu recited it smoothly.
"Hmm?" The Night Watcher suddenly looked up, put down the laptop, and asked with some surprise, "You're a Night Watcher?"
"Yes, a probationary Night Watcher!" Su Yu nodded.
"There's a lot of damage to residential buildings this time, and replacement houses are scarce. We need to prioritize ordinary people." The Night Watcher opposite looked at Su Yu and said, "Since you are a Night Watcher, you should prioritize the people. Your house will be compensated later!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yu couldn't help but give the Night Watcher a thumbs-up.
This was the Night Watcher.
"I'm fine, I just came to take a look. Alright, I'm leaving now." Su Yu said with a smile.
Under everyone's gaze, Su Yu entered the ruined residential area, heading straight for his own residential building to see if he could dig anything out.
"Little Yu is a Night Watcher now?" Only after Su Yu left did everyone react, and Uncle Zhang spoke in shock.
"That's right, this Su Yu's strength is even greater than mine!" The Night Watcher in charge of statistics glanced at the computer interface, extremely envious.
Su Yu was only eighteen years old and already a Warrior Second Stage. As long as he didn't die prematurely, his future was bright.
